lol, stop it guys im Blushing........

Skubidz welcome to the thread or the sleeve family.
As the others have said there is a lot of information around and between the lot of us, we have experienced almost everything.
I am now 5 days post my Tummy Tuck and arm lift, and doing well. Still in hospital with 4 drains which is driving me stir crazy, and have had some horrible nausea for the last few days due to pain meds and being backed up, hopefully the backed up part is moving now.
Hard to really see my body at the moment, it is all very bruised and swollen but will eventually know how it will look. Tho I do enjoy putting on underwear without my belly over hanging, the thing I have hated the most.

Lol hope I can catch up with you, Kelli and the other Brissy Sleevers in October!!

Thank all. Definitely a bit scary but all is looking good now..the body does heal pretty well, thankfully I am young enough.
Now biggest struggle is getting enough food in, hospital food is all carb, even when I order veggies I am ending up with pumpkin but I must be doing better if I am complaining about the food hehehe
otherwise I am black and blue and numb and stiff and sore but all good signs I am healing

Great news Nikki!!! Sounds like you will be well prepared.
Thank you all for the well wishes, 4 more days and then I will be under the knife again...I will keep you all up to date with the recovery. I posted on Facebook that I was doing this and one of my friends said the sweetest thing and also the most true and I wanted to share with you all:
"Well Beautiful, there is nothing to fear. You aren't transforming anything but the most superficial part of you and you're only doing that because you want it to better match the real you that has and always will be, borderline perfect."
I am hoping at the end of this I finally see in the mirror what I know on the inside.

scotty, hands up, currently recovering from my Tummy Tuck and arm lift. Tho I am in Sydney.
So far recovery is way harder than the sleeve ever was but hopefully the results will be worth it.

Wow you go away for 3 days and it gets busy in here.
I am on the flip side of the plastic surgery.
Had a rough time of it. Ended up having to go back in for emergency surgery as I had slow bleeder and lost 4ltres of blood, needed 4 blood transfusions. Spent the second night in the ICU.
My arms are feeling like they have done a hard work out and a sore bloated.
My back and arms are aching but not taking too many painkillers. Didn't need the muscle tightening which is probably helping me feel better....

Thanks. Made for a scary few hours, tho everyone on the ward can't believe I am the same person today. After having code blue 3 times, everyone was on edge. The body can heal pretty quickly.
I ended up having just under 5 kgs of skin taken off, 3.5 from my stomach, almost a kilo from my back and almost .5 kilo each arm. Plus whatever else was lipo'd out. Once the bruising and swelling goes down, I may have actually got to 50% of my body lost.

And this afternoon I have a cute nurse...bonus lol. Tho he has been quick to tell me he is working in the ICU tommorow and Doesnt want to see me there lol

Reaaly happy and relieved that you are now doing so well after the rough time you have been through - it will be a distant memory when you are strutting your new look this summer. What a great loss of weight - you will find some more new clothes might be in order as you would have changed shape again! Half your body weight - amazing! Can't wait to meet up with you again and see your results! I will be thinking of you during your recovery.
